Lineups changing arbitrarily?

Folderol · 11-06-2019, 07:41 PM

Ok, I have no life and manage my lineups in PT daily. Yesterday Jeff McNeil and Jose Altuve had two bars - a little fatigue, not bad. So I sat them. Adjusted the lineup accordingly, pulled them from backup rolls both left and right handed, and saved/submitted my lineup.

Damned if they both don't start!

Why? I'd fire the manager for going behind my back - I'm Steinbrenner, dammit! IIIIII make the lineup cards!

Any ideas?

Never mind. Figured it out. Had them still as 'Utility 2' and apparently the AI started them regardless. Once I pulled them from that category all was well.

I think with a right-click...you can limit a player, (when they start), to a particular spot in the order, or else the AI sometimes does mess with the order (for the right reasons in its opinion),....if you don't have that option checked (always bat him 5th) or something.. Donkey Kong mentioned that when you use daily lineups 7-day...that the lineup order never gets changed.
